Greater than one weekI got half of them to work and the other half never did connect. The process to connect is complicated. I had one of the plugs right next to the modem and it could not find the internet through the app. I would not purchase these ever again. Save your money.

> 3 dayWell these are worthless. Suddenly just turns off all the outlets. Even if I unplug everything it will randomly turn everything off. Waste of money and less than a year old.

> 3 dayI already have about twenty smart wifi plugs (and a couple of smart power strips) in my home and needed a couple more plugs. (I keep finding new uses for them.) I bought these because the price was good and the description said: The smart plug is designed for standard US outlets. Easily fit two mini plugs in one socket. This claim turned out to be untrue, so I returned them and ordered a different brand that I already owned and that I knew would fit two to an outlet. Because this feature was important to me, I immediately checked to see if two of these plugs would fit in the same outlet before I tried configuring them, so I cant say anything specific about how easy they are to set up and actually use. However, Ive purchased a variety of smart plugs brands, and Ive never had a problem with any of them. All of the individual smart plugs that I own work with the Smart Life app and have similar functionality. (I believe that the manufacturers are all using the same chips.) Smart plugs have only a few distinguishing features, such as size, amperage, appearance, and whether they have extra features such as USB ports. These plugs are rated for 10 amps and can be used for lamps and devices that dont draw much power. If you plan to use a smart plug with electric heater, air conditioner, and or other power-hungry device, look for one that is rated for 15 or 16 amps. As long as you buy your smart plugs from a vendor that allows easy returns (such as Amazon, as opposed to eBay) and test them right away, theres not much risk of losing your money. When people do have difficulty setting smart plugs up, its usually because they dont understand that the devices need to be on a 2.44 GHz wifi band and that you have to connect your phone to this band while configuring. Once youve configured one smart plug, its pretty easy to configure other plugs, even if theyre different brands. Of course, the documentation on this plugs is often lacking, but there are lots of videos on YouTube that explain the process. I gave these plugs three stars (average) because the description is clearly wrong, but they probably would have worked fine. If youre looking for inexpensive smart plugs and dont care whether the plug blocks the other receptacle in the outlet, these could be a great buy (but shop around because prices on smart plugs are dropping rapidly). For me, it was worth paying a little more to have the flexibility to use two plugs per outlet. (Afterthought -- it might be possible to use one of these plugs and a 2-prong lamp plug in the same outlet. I didnt try that. However, the product description says that you can use two miniplugs in the same outlet, which is what I needed and which is unfortunately not the case.)

> 3 dayI was skeptical that these would work based on some of the negative reviews. But I got these on sale so I figured I would try them.. and I’m happy to report that they work great! The size of the smart outlet is perfect-allowing me to still have room to plug in something else in the same light socket- which was important to me. I am fairly tech savvy, so I would say they were pretty easy to figure out install and set up with my Alexa Show 5 (2nd generation). After downloading the Smart Life app and connecting each smart plug to the desired lamp in the app- I labeled each room and light in “home management”, I was then easily able to pair it through my Alexa app by adding a new SKILL with Alexa. Now I’m able to say turn on or off lights to Alexa and she is able to do so with every lamp that is plugged into one of these smart plugs! One lamp stopped working or “lost connection” with my Alexa, but I was able to easily re-install the outlet through the smart life app and it’s been working ever since! I can see how it might be a bit of a learning curve for some, but after a little trial and error and Googling some pairing to Alexa questions, I am extremely happy with my purchase. Have recommended to friends and family and plan to buy more of these from this exact company!
